...exactly, was maddeningly vague. Maazel had said before the concert that he hoped "ordinary" Koreans would be among those attending, but no one from the orchestra had a clue who the tickets had been given to.

And perhaps most importantly, what could NIU have done—and what can any other university do—to prevent future tragedies like this one? In NIU?...

As always, women have more to lose in casual sex than men: they are left with the unwanted pregnancies, the abortions, the possible damage from contraceptives and the risk of cervical cancer associated with having multiple sex partners. To many women, random sex seems more and more a pointless diversion or a trap...
